CoExist
CoExist keeps VoiceOver running alongside TurnOver. Wherever TurnOver reads, VoiceOver is silenced at the sound level, so you hear only TurnOver; in an app you give to VoiceOver, VoiceOver is heard at once, as if TurnOver weren't there. Switching is instant, and nothing is said as it happens. It is on unless you turn it off.
What to expect
and VoiceOver is heard. The same again gives it back.
- In TurnOver's apps you hear TurnOver; VoiceOver is running but silent.
- Command Control Comma, then T gives the app in front to VoiceOver: TurnOver lets the keys and the mouse through
Apple's own reader is the one there.
- In a password field, and in macOS's own prompts (passwords, Touch ID, "Allow" questions), VoiceOver is heard, so
- Command Control Period turns TurnOver off and on; VoiceOver then has every app.
- If TurnOver stops or gets stuck for more than a few seconds, VoiceOver is heard again.
- Nothing of VoiceOver's is changed: its settings, voices and Activities stay as they are.
- With CoExist on, TurnOver's own braille is off: VoiceOver keeps the display.
Turning it off
The TurnOver menu, Settings, Experimental, CoExist, then Return. TurnOver restarts and turns VoiceOver off where it reads, as it did before CoExist.
Good to know
Silencing VoiceOver's sound from outside is new, and a macOS or VoiceOver update could change how it behaves. Please report anything odd.
